 == Bernie's brain backup for January 2008 ==
 
+=== Sun 27th ===
+
+==== Down Under ====
+
+Yesterday I had to clear my room, pack my stuff at OneCambridgeCenter, and
+say goodbye to many, many good friends and colleges.  I don't  even know when
+I'll be able to see them again.  Not exactly a happy day, you may have guessed.
+
+Today, after 22 hours of flight, I started to have visions.  At the baggage reclaim,
+I thought I was talking with the kernel god LinusTorvalds.  He said that userspace
+is easy and that he cannot exactly agree with some of the choices made in Python.
+We'd really get along if it wasn't just a dream :-)
+
+Later on, I reached the hotel and got into the elevator with a ginger guy
+that looked vaguely familiar.  I asked if he was going at LCA. "Yes, I am".
+"Are you a software developer?".  "Hmm... not primarily".  Blink! "Oh, my god!
+You must be JohnathanCorbet, the editor of LinuxWeeklyNews!".  "Indeed".
+
+Today was really an exciting day!  I needed it to forget, at least partially,
+the sadness of my leaving!

+
+==== Another trip to NY ====
+
+I'm planning to go to NewYorkCity tomorrow with a bunch of friends.
+But this time I guess we'll catch a different transportation:
+we were booking the FungWah (aka ShittyBus), when ChrisBall came
+and looked at us funny.  "Are you sure?  Those buses have a habit
+of catching fire on the highway".
+
+Apparently, it is really true:
